Your most favoritest poem

[damppanties]

Thanks Angeline and karmadog. I loved Walk beside me, Not behind me! I started on some of Angeline's poems. I'm going upwards from 'W'

Why I want to live and Thin Line crossed -- delicious.

Hi All!

Really pressed for time here but had to put in my vote for SA Storm's "Performance Art"

One of my favorites:
After I Loved You by Angeline
This is one of her first poems here at lit and I've always had a place in my heart for it.

Another favorite:
Home Schooling for the Dead by RisiaSkye
Excellent poem.

One of my favorite erotic poems:
Mona Spice by smithpeter

Starting up from W....

Oh lordie, sure you don't want some recommendations? There's a lotta chaff in with that wheat!

And thank you, O Wicked One. I love you, too.

DP, this is just a great idea because we are all reading each other's poems now. What fun! (and educational)

Recommendations?

Sure!

But I won't say I'm going to read only those ones and not the rest.

A Long List of Reads

Okay, so here are the first 20(ish) poems that came to mind when I saw that someone wanted some recommendations for the best of Lit's poetry. The standard qualifiers apply--there's no particular order, I've left out many great poems & good poets including some of my favorites, and this is based on nothing but my own opinion.

Also, I'm full of hubris, so even though I've been mentioned here a few times (thanks, you two, for hooking me up!) I'm also listing what I consider some of my best work from those that haven't been mentioned yet. Hey, I'm not proud. I'll stump for reads.

BUMP!

I think this is a much forgotten thread that deserves some new interest. Here is one of my favorites, that I think everyone should enjoy (although the posting is three years late). I would like to see a challenge based on the theme of this poem, particularly given the state of world affairs.

The Darkling Thrush

I LEANT upon a coppice gate,
When Frost was spectre-gray,
And Winter's dregs made desolate
The weakening eye of day.
The tangled bine-stems scored the sky
Like strings of broken lyres,
And all mankind that haunted nigh
Had sought their household fires.
The land's sharp features seemed to me
The Century's corpse outleant,
Its crypt the cloudy canopy,
The wind its death-lament.
The ancient pulse of germ and birth
Was shrunken hard and dry,
And every spirit upon earth
Seemed fervorless as I.

At once a voice arose among
The bleak twigs overhead,
In a full-hearted evensong
Of joy illimited.
An aged thrush, frail, gaunt and small,
With blast-beruffled plume,
Had chosen thus to fling his soul
Upon the growing gloom.
So little cause for carolings
Of such ecstatic sound
Was written on terrestrial things
Afar or nigh around,
That I could think there trembled through
His happy good-night air
Some blessed Hope, whereof he knew,
And I was unaware.

Thomas Hardy - December 31, 1900
